I love Mick Inkpen books, isn't he great :-)

[Meglet]

We seem to have an awful lot of Mick Inkpen books in the house these days (including a collection which was a fab MN secret santa present ).

Yesterday I discovered 'This is my book', we like the bit where the dragon eats the letters and makes the word change to 'poo'.

I could happily read them every bedtime.

Me too!
My 2 have outgrown them now, but resolutely refuse to let them be given away.
I'll still find the pair of them settling down with a bit of Kipper or Nothing...they're 7 and 13

is that his real name do you think?

we had a lovely one with a little light in it, can't think what it was called

aaw, posey, in that case we've got years of them ahead of us. Mine are 2 and almost 4.

The Great Pet Sale is a classic. Percy the Park Keeper is boring.

Was just looking to see if I could find out if it is his real name and I find out that Kipper is 18
And it doesn't see it is a pen name so I guess it's real. Cool name.

Ah Nick Butterworth was never as good

oh, Nothing - what a lovely book.
and Where oh where is kipper's bear
and, and, and

fab books

I love Kipper - haven't read any of his others I don't think. But Kipper is so great, Kipper's Chistmas Eve has been a favourite all year round in this house. The one with Roly the hamster as well!!

oh yes of course Nick Butterworth. Oh the shame.
The great pet sale still fanastic though.

And as for the Blue Nose Island ones - absolutely wonderful

I- the dc's like The Blue Balloon and Bear best.

Naughty Step also seems to work well when they have been playing up. And I am going to make a huge choc cake just like the one in the book.

Kipper. Yes, nice stuff

Mick Inkpen is fantastic. I especially like Tiger from the Kipper books- DS had a hat and gloves just like his last winter.

The bluenose Island ones are nice. And Wibbly pig's garden.
And Kippers Balloon is the best...

"If we had a big balloon... a really big balloon... where would we go?"

ohhh wibbly pig. dd2 loved wibbly pig as a baby/toddler. Just lovely lovely tiny kid stuff.

Billy's Beetle? Is that from the same guy? We love that.

I must admit, we only have a few Kipper books, but they have been a great hit with all the kids.
